Well done Brendan, given the problems you've had I think this will end up being a special bass for you.

Thanks Rob - already pretty attached to it - looking forward to taking it to church one day and playing it...

Still around - slight update the P-Bass has taken another couple of coats. Nearly ready for the top coats. Organised some new pots and another cap - waiting on some new knobs (CTS shafts are thicker than the kit ones). Neck ready (gone hard with some Ax Wax) and looking very good). Still contemplating the bone nut upgrade.

Nice job Brendan.
Bone for tone
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
More photos in the GOTM entry, but I'm putting this one down as done!...
Mods - CTS pots, orange drop cap, vintage wiring and a Switchcraft Jack.
Bone nut (thanks to Gav!).

That's come up beautifully, Brendan. Well done.
Scott.
Right - out come the magic skills as I resurrect this thread
Turns out in my enthusiasm to get everything right with this build I kinda stuffed the truss rod. Over tightened it and then threaded the nut at the end so I can't do nada about it... Now I've got some wonderful frontbow...
Contacted Adam who sorted out a new neck for me at a good price. Then got an email from Ads the other day to say that it had arrived!!!
Given I'm building a VP Bass at the same time, I thought I'd give something a bash - going fretless - don't have a fretless bass, so it'll be an education... For this one I'll go with DB's plastic flower pot labels as they should match the pickguard.
While I'm there, I also replace the boring placky dots with some Paua shell...
Note the safety footwear - sorry...
